Sorry to be late this week - I went out of town to help a relative get through surgery, and got stuck in a snowstorm!

Thanks to V. K. Lee for carrying things on.

I’ll pass on any and all blackeyed peas.

The other day, I accidentally created a honey mustard dipping sauce similar to McD’s - combine Chinese hot mustard, mayo and honey.

Glad you’re home safely. Any ideas for good soft food recipes? Wife is having some dental issues.

Hmmmm...I love blackeyed peas. This is an interesting recipe, to say the least. I might have to try it, minus the cilantro. :)

Wife and I will be having Red Beans and rice with homemade bread for our supper tonight. Good stuff, it is!

My first thought for soft foods was little tea sandwiches on soft white bread, crusts removed, using the Underwood potted meats:

(I have a recipe for deviled ham that is almost identical to the Underwood, and I’ll find it and post it tomorrow, along with a very easy and tasty fruit smoothie that I make often.)

For vegetables, I can’t think of anything better than the Green Soup that I posted previously. It is really nutritious, and much tastier than it appears:

I’m sure you’ll receive many more responses.

I made this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I thought my husband was going to lick the bowl clean. To make it so you don’t have to chew you can puree it rather than just mashing a few of the potatoes.

We’re making onion soup right now...from a french guy’s recipe that came on a DVD with the Cuisinart Food Processor...it’s a great recipe.

Who was it that had the cooking thread before and is the account still active?

That looks scrumptious!

Yum!

I like almost all legumes. Favorite..Black Beans. Black-eyed peas, no.
In New Years Day tradition I had some black-eyes peas, one of my least favorites.
Mixed a can of BeP with a can on chopped seasoned tomatoes. Voila!
Really good.

Hope your wife is feeling better soon!

Here's some Pennsylvania Dutch inexpensive comfort food which my mother taught me to make at an early age.
Egg Rivels
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 14.5 oz. can stewed tomatoes w/juice
1/2 tsp sugar
dash of pepper
Combine the tomatoes, sugar and pepper in a pan and bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes.
Stir up the eggs, add to the flour and mix into a dough with a fork but don't over work it.
Add small bits of the dough with your fingers to the tomatoes, stir it in and let cook for around 10 minutes plus.

Foolproof soft boiled eggs. From Americas Test Kitchen. It works

Place eggs into pan, number doesn’t matter. Straight from fridge.
Add 1/2” water. Gonna cook them in steam.
Cover, 6 1/2 minutes after it comes to boil.
Run eggs under cold water for 30 sec or so.
This opens the shell really well.

Once you try FRESH black eyed peas, the canned stuff just won’t do.

ChefCarlo? He had some tasty recipes.

Libertarian27 had a ping list in the past; she still has archives on her website.

That looks good. We have a PA Dutch recipe for chicken corn chowder that includes rivels, but I’ve never made them. Our recipe comes from William Woys Weaver’s book on Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.

Will try.
